Troll Level: MASTER! Genius with 3-D Printer Makes Fake Gun Parts, Sells them to Gun-Grabbing Commies in NY Buy-Back Program

 

A brilliant patriot from New York who goes only by the name "Kem" claims to have used a $200 3-D printer to fabricate a bumper crop of receivers, then drove six hours to Utica, N.Y., and sold them to a gun buy-back program for mad stacks.  [...]

i just had to make a meme out of this

The attorney general of New York has changed the rules of a state gun buyback program, after a participant exploited the system by using a 3D printer to make firearm parts in bulk that he then exchanged for $21,000 in gift cards.

The seller, who identified himself by a pseudonym, said he traveled from West Virginia to a gun buyback on 27 August in Utica, New York, to take advantage of a loophole in the program – and to demonstrate that buybacks are futile in an era of printable weapons.

At the buyback, the seller turned in 60 printed auto sears, small devices that can convert firearms into fully automatic weapons. Under the rules of the buyback, hosted by the office of the attorney general, Letitia James, and city police, that entitled him to $350 for each of the printed parts, including a $100 premium, since they were deemed “ghost guns” lacking serial numbers.

The seller, who declined to provide his real name, said in an email on Monday the prospect of making money was enticing, but that the big reason he took part in the buyback was to send a message.

He called the idea of buybacks “ridiculously stupid”, adding that “the people running this event are horribly uneducated about guns, gun crime and the laws surrounding the regulation of guns”.

Effing genius, I tell ya!!

There ought to be some penalty for false advertising in saying, "buyback."  These were never the government's to buy "back."

I read the 2A about 37 times the other day.  Couldn't find ANYTHING about the gubmint trying to prevent citizens from owning guns.

Recently bought two cans.  Now I think I will buy two more guns I don't really need, plus cans for them, and sit back and smile bigly!

These are very colorful birds.  They can't really fly; they mostly hop from branch to branch.

 

Question:  When toucans get divorced, do they become onecans?

[LIBrty4all 3,749]

Epic.

 

Fail.

[TBoneTX 44,669]

Actually, really clever.  Merits a definitive answer.

So regular Leftist response to their unintended consequences.

 

New York changes gun buyback after seller gets $21,000 for 3D-printed parts

 

James’ office said it responded to the loophole by giving buyback personnel more discretion to determine the value of weapons being handed in, and setting a standard that all 3D-printed guns accepted by the program must be capable of being fired more than once.

 

The new rules were in place by 17 September, when the attorney general’s office hosted a gun buyback in a Syracuse suburb, Camillus.

I meant an epic fail as pertains to the buyback plan.  I think the guy did well for himself.

The guy said that the money was secondary to making his point.  Good for him.

What is interesting is that if this guy were to have been stopped crossing state lines with what he had, the Feds would have thrown the book at him.
